Caribbean Conch Fritters

For anyone who has spent a vacation down south in the Caribbean likely has tried Conch Fritters. These are a soft and delicious seafood served simular to a veggie tray with a dipping sauce. The dipping sauce is to preferance, I have included my choice of sauce. The taste is matched by the difficulty finding conch at your supermarket. I found a few Asian supermarkets that carry conch meat always.
